Hi Jennifer,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! October is a lovely time to visit the Walt Disney World Resort. The
Festival of Fantasy Parade Dining Package will be such a fun experience! While you do need to make an Advanced Dining Reservation for this package, you can use the
Disney Dining or Deluxe Dining Plans for this meal. It will require one table-service credit for each person 3-years old or older in your party. While the reservation system will ask for a credit card to guarantee your reservation, your card will not be charged unless you do not show for the meal and do not cancel in advance. Please review the restaurants' cancellation policies as you make your advanced dining reservations.
I do hope you have considered purchasing tickets to
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! If so, remember that separate admission is required for this event.
As always, I suggest that you utilize the
My Disney Experience tool to link your resort, dining, and
Fast Pass+ reservations.
Happy Planning!
